Talent, knowledge or experience?

I just created this new meme on sleeQo. You're tagged :-)

Rules: We study, but then don't necessarily end up doing what we learned. Here's your chance to say why you think you're good at something that you do - either your job or one or more aspects of it - or something you do as a hobby.

• Did you have any formal study of this?

  No, but my printing and language studies are very relevant.

• Did you have any informal study / Did you learn on-the-job?

  I learned on the job and I've read a lot on the topic - including textbooks and articles. I also have Ohad to consult with (which I often do).

• What do you think contributes most to your ability to do this well?

• What of the following do you think contributes *least* to your ability to do this well: studies, on-the-job training, learning from experts informally, experience, other

  More of a job.

• Do you consider yourself a professional?

  Yes.

• Do other people ask for your advice?

  Yes.

• Do you enjoy what you do?

  Mostly. I particularly enjoy starting a new project and higher level design OR finding solutions to things that are really complicated.

• Do you continue to seek more knowledge so that you can improve at what you do?

  All the time.

• Until what age do you think you want to continue doing this?

  I don't know... 10-15-20 years, I guess.

• (Optional) What was your subject for this meme?

  user interface design
